The craze for "organic" foods grows apace in America, with otherwise rational people choosing to pay twice as much or more for foods labeled "organic" as for conventional foods. Does that make sense? Not much. Claims that "organic" foods are healthier than non-"organic" have a hard time finding any empirical justification. Claims that "organic" foods are locally sourced and more environmentally friendly, too, fall short. Those interested in learning the problems with the "organic" … [Read more...]
President Trump Should Keep His Promise and Pull Out of Paris Climate Agreement
President Donald Trump attends his first G7 Summit May 26–27. There he will face enormous pressure to break a promise to those who elected him. The promise? To get the United States out of the Paris climate treaty. The pressure? It will come from the head of pretty much every other G7 member. Canadian socialist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will lead. Others will follow. Even United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May … [Read more...]

First, it was eminently readable—clear, simple, warm, a lot like being involved in a conversation with a dear and longtime friend. Second, it was a work of extraordinary scholarship—characterized by not superficial but deep familiarity with the competing ideas of a wide variety … [Read more...]

Killing The Paris Agreement Is Not Enough
This is a great article from Tom Harris in the Daily Caller. We at the Cornwall Alliance strongly commend it to you, and hope you will read it and help spread the word that "killing the Paris Agreement is not enough"! If President Donald Trump merely pulls the United States out of the Paris Agreement on climate change, it will be like cutting the head off a dandelion. It will look good for a while until equally bad agreements quickly grow back when a Democrat occupies the White House again. … [Read more...]

Poison for the Mind: The Nation on CO2 and Global Warming
What’s “a far more deadly gas” than the Sarin that Syrian President Bashar al Assad used to kill his own citizens—prompting President Trump to respond with a missile attack? Carbon dioxide. Or so says The Nation. According to “The Other Poison Gas Killing Syrians: Carbon Dioxide Emissions,” by University of Michigan Professor of History Juan Cole, “If Trump and his cronies really cared about children killed by noxious gases, they wouldn’t be trying to spew ever more CO2 into the atmosphere.” We … [Read more...]
